Windscreen Fog Up Issue - Anyone else???

[Definitive]

This photo is basically what I get whenever I start the car. AC has been on at 60 every time. Havent tried it with it off cause I never run my air off unless its below 60 outside. Anyone else have this same issue? Is it an issue? I know it bothers me because it takes 30 minutes to go away, and Im usually at my destination before that happens. I should also note it seems to be on the outside.

Picture isn't showing up for me.

If it is on the outside, you are getting too much AC (cold air) through the defrost vents and on to the windows. The cold glass will cause the condensation. Try running the AC on auto or redirect the air flow to the main or floor vents. Even if you are on auto, make sure you are somehow running too much air to the defrost vents.

Thank you, I will try that. I did set the AC flow to the (up, forward, down) setting.

Why are you running AC at low temps? I never run mine until it's over 72 and just use outside air to maintain a comfortable temp. AC takes power to run and will decrease your mpg, though if like E92, it will cut out the compressor under full acceleration. Audio Fan is correct - if the glass temp is below the dew point of the outside air moisture will condense on the glass.

I always run mine at least on Low. I find that if its not on at all, it gets too stale. This is in any car. And I grew my hair out long a year or so ago, and since then dont roll with my windows down much.

If it's on the outside of the glass, then you are just chilling the glass too much. Simple enough to solve and not a vehicle issue

How is Oregon this time of year?

Im getting the same issue every morning. Will try to change settings as suggested. Sometimes is is around 90 degrees in Miami early in the mornings so A/C is necessary.
